BURNER FOR GAS-STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 645,183, dated March 13, 1900.

Application filed December 15, 1897. Serial No. 661,944. (No modell) To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, IIORATIO PHINNEY, of

Providence, in the .county of Providence and of the same, reference being had to the accom-.

panying drawings, forming part of this speciflcation.

This invention has reference to an improvement in burners used for generating heat, and is particularly applicable to gas cooking and heating stoves.

I-Ieretofore it has been the practice to sup ply the air to the burner and the flame by means of chimneys or draft-dues which, while carrying off the heated products of combustion, induced an indraft of air to the flame.

I have ascertained by practical experiment the combination with a cylindrical gas-burner having a series of radially-disposed peripheral I that to secure the perfect combustion of gas heat and time are required to produce the mixture of the gas and air and have constructed a burner by which the heat is retained and the mixture of the carbon and oxygen secured. I find that with this burner the products of combustion are odorless and that considerably more heat is generated with a given quantity of gas.

The invention consists in the peculiar and novel construction whereby a dished deflector extends over and around the burner, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.

Figure 1 is a side View of the burner, showing the deflector in section. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the burner and deflector, showing the bracket for supporting the defiector.

In the drawings, a indicates a burner having a circular row of gas-outlets or other means for discharging the gas radially and on practically a horizontal plane; 19, the gas-supply pipe; c, a bracket secured to the burner; d, the deflector having the inclined, preferably annular, sides e e and the preferably horizontal closed top f. p

In practice I find that a deflector having a depth about equal to the diameter of the burner and a diameter four to six times the diameter of the burner, supported over the burner so that the lower edge of the deflector is practically on a line with the discharge openings of the burner, improves the com bustion of the gas, is odorless, and materially increases the heat produced.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- In a heating device of the nature described,

openings for the discharge of the gas, of an inverted dished deflector having the closed flat top f and the inclined annular sides 6, the plane of the peripheral openings in the burner being on a plane with the lower edges of the inclined annular sides of the deflector; whereby the series of streams of gas discharged horizontally and radially from the burner may readily mix with the air at the high temperature maintained in thelinverted dished deflector, as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand. I

I-IORATIO PHINNEY. Witnesses:
